Ciprian Photography

Ciprian is amazing and his photos from our day speak for themselves. I can't get over the feelings that are evoked from the photos. So many images were taken and so many moments captured that I am getting to relive our day. He was a pleasure to work with.. easy... made you feel comfortable and at ease. He let's you move through your day as if he wasn't even there. However, he was everywhere and our pictures reflect every moment that was special and even the ones we didn't witness ourselves. Our most perfect day and beautiful pictures to last a lifetime. Thank you Ciprian!!!!!The Avila's

If you and your significant other will be getting married soon, before choosing your wedding photographer, take your time and do your homework. Having the right wedding photographer can be such a blessing but on the flip side, having the wrong photographer can truly be a curse. I know that you too have heard those wedding photographer horror stories. When planning a wedding, you will find that everyone becomes an expert but always remember these simple truths; this is your life, your time, your money, your wedding and you deserve to be happy with your wedding choices. By the time you reach the alter, you will have invested months of dreaming, planning, scheduling, negotiating, coordinating and meeting with vendors to insure that they fulfill your wedding vision. And after praying that everything goes as planned, when that life changing day arrives, you will realize that there are no do overs, no replays and no second chances to get it right. You absolutely can't afford to leave the choice of your wedding photographer to chance and you need to have the upmost trust that your wedding photographer will capture all the beautiful moments of your wedding.Of course, there are many wedding photographers to choose from but remember you want the very best because you deserve the very best. Although we live 500 miles from Lake Tahoe, after viewing Ciprian's gorgeous work on his websight and blog, we set up an appointment to interview him. Upon our initial meeting, rather than trying to impress us with with what he could do, he presented himself as down to earth, listened to what we wanted, asked a lot of pertinent questions and made some very good suggestions. There was no pressure, no sales pitch but instead he was professional and he encouraged us to take our time to compare and contrast his work with that of his peers. After reviewing the work of dozens of wedding photographers, the choice was clear and we could not be more blessed with having chosen Cirprian as our photographer. On our wedding day, family, friends and even vendors had excellent feed back regarding how well Cirprian interacted with them. To this date, everyone in my wedding party continues to ask about Cirprian and how he is doing. He was charming, engaging, conversant, encouraging, patient, good natured, great with children and seamlessly blended in with everyone. I am still impressed that he had taken the time to memorize everyone's name and treated everyone with the upmost respect yet maintained a gentle assertiveness to steer people into the right shots at the right time.As in his other beautiful work, he did not disappoint us as our gorgeous wedding photos were balanced, focused, detailed, lush and rich in color. He also complimented his color photographs with stunning black and white pictures. In reviewing Cirpian's work, it is quite clear that he is a master in the use of frame, timing, lighting, contrast, exposure, and focus. We are so pleased that he beautifully captured the essence of those special tender moments of our wedding. The reader should know that by nature, I am not photogenic and forewarned Ciprian that I have the smile of a dead cat. Yet, I have nothing but the highest praise for the quality and the style of the work that he produced for us. Prior to our wedding, we spent a considerable amount of time in effort to find the very best photographer for our wedding and I am happy to say that our research was well rewarded. I too can attest that-as his recently recognized accolades have noted-Ciprian is the very best at what he does. We placed our all of our trust in Ciprian and without a doubt, he delivered. The tough part now will be to cull through the 812 gorgeous wedding photos he took because they are all so beautiful.

Ciprian was more than accomadating to all of our needs. Including spending the entire day with the bride to make sure to not only capture the moments, but you could also feel the emotions that were building up to the big moment through his pictures. I would recommend Ciprian to anyone.

I was really nervous as I was going through the process of picking a wedding photographer because photos were one of the most important things to us. I had actually fallen in love with Ciprian's photography before I had ever gotten engaged when I saw a friends wedding photos on facebook and I felt so at ease and relieved to have found Ciprian right after our initial meeting. His enthusiasm for photography was very apparent and contagious from that first meeting and he was the only photographer we met with who took the time to explain to us how he like to take photos and what equipment he used. (He is also the only photographer I’ve heard of in the area that doesn’t use flash to light the pictures and the difference in the photos from that alone is amazing!) We left that initial meeting grinning and couldn’t stop talking about excited we were for our photos, and we were not disappointed at all. He not only took beautiful pictures of our entire wedding day, but he was so incredibly easy to work with. He kept track of time so well and managed to make sure he got all the pictures we asked for and during the ceremony and reception, and he was so unobtrusive. I had no idea where he was half the time, which could also be due to how fast he was running around to catch everything from EVERY angle. I also love that I didn't have to stress about giving him a list of what to photograph exactly, I just asked for a couple of specific family combinations, because I knew he would know exactly what to take pictures of and what angles would look good and that took a big load off my shoulders! The photos were amazing and I don’t even know how we are going to narrow down our favorites for our album. I would recommend him ten times over to anyone getting married in the area!

Such a great photographer. Wonderful to work with. My pictures turned out even better than I hoped. They are simply amazing. Ciprian has a great eye and is incredibly talented.

Ciprian is an amazing photograher! The pictures turned out amazing for both our engagement and wedding pictures. He's really easy to work with and extremely talented. His turn around time is really quick. Within a week of our wedding we got all of our pictures and slideshow. He makes you feel comfortable during the photo shoot sessions, and I completely trusted the fact that the pictures would coming out beautiful. Everyone commented on how awesome the pictures are. I would recommend Ciprian in a heart beat!

Ciprian was amazing. My Husband and I wanted our wedding pictures to beunique, timeless and capture the moment and not looked like typicalposed couple shots, we wanted classy, fun and unique. Ciprian exceeded our expectations. We wanted to capture all the moments from prepping before the wedding to dancingthrough the night and Ciprian was the only Photographer that said "yes, you let me know what you want, when you want" all the other photographers we approached wanted to fit us into a package option (usually containing things we didn't want) with multiple ala carte options to get just to get exactly what we wanted.He was professional, courteous and a delight to work with we would recommend him to any bride looking for amazing pictures!Sabia & Renee Armstrong

Finding a good wedding photographer is a scary project. There are a lot of photographers out there and picking one without a personal recommendation can be difficult, especially with so much on the line. We just feel so lucky to have had Ciprian shoot our wedding. My husband and I not really comfortable in front of the camera but Ciprian helped us to feel relaxed and comfortable doing all out shots. He is professional but also fun and personable to work with. He has such a creative eye, he took some very artistic photos of our wedding party and the photos of just my husband and me looked fantastic. He stayed longer than planned and captured everything we had asked for and more. The photos we received were all just so amazing, we honestly couldn’t be happier about our experience with Cirprian. We would definitely recommend him to anyone that is looking for a professional, talented, and creative photographer.

Ciprian is outstanding! Selecting a photographer was one of the most important details of our wedding. Photos are the one keepsake that will keep our wedding day memorable and vivid for years to come. I wanted a photographer that could take a more modern approach and I was thoroughly impressed. The way he plays with lighting and creativity is a talent. I never knew photography could be such great cardio; Ciprian was literally running from place to place to make sure that we were all on time and that he didn't miss a thing. He has a very laid back yet fun personality. He had our whole wedding party laughing and we had such a fun time with him. I find myself laughing out loud as I look back through the photos. It was such a fun day and looking at the photos is like reliving the day. Ciprian does a wonderful job in capturing emotions, expressions and candid moments. Our photos are beautiful and it is going to be a challenge narrowing down our favorites.

Ciprian was absolutely amazing!!! You can tell that he has a passion for photography and when he is shooting you, you feel beautiful. His main concern is taking the best pictures while your enjoying your special day. Even my guests could not believe how active and in the moment he was, he was actually a big hit at our wedding. He has the perfect mix of professionalism and artistic abilitiy and I would reccommend him to anyone.

Planning a destination wedding is no easy feat - especially when you are unfamiliar with the vendors. Ciprian was recommended to us when we were looking for a wedding photographer and I cannot speak highly enough of him, our experience and photos. His photography style, demeanor and dedication were incredible and absolutely what we were looking for. I was definitely impressed on how responsive he was to all of our questions and how on the ball he was from the start. If you have not taken the time to meet with Ciprian and review his portfolio, I would absolutely recommend you do. I am definitely a camera shy person, but Ciprian made me feel at ease and a beautiful bride. I feel like we lucked out on such an incredible photographer and photos that we will look at for the rest of our life. Ciprian, thank you again!

Ciprian was perfect for our wedding - not only did he attend all of our activities we had the day before the wedding and took pictures he basically started the day with us when the bride with the bridesmaids got ready and did the same with the groom's party. We started splitting into two different houses at 10 am and sure enough Ciprian was there and took amazing pictures. He has a special eye for the happenings and the ability to completely vanish for you and you dont even realize that he just took a picture off you which for me took a lot of pressure of my shoulders. The album he puts together is amazing and completely different from what I ever saw before. You can choose between three different covers (metal etc), choose between different papers (photo, shiny etc) and then select your pictures you want in there. They get printed on the paper so you dont run in danger that they ever fall out. Go on his website and check out some pictures he has on there right now - amazing. He made our day very special with those pictures and will always make it a very memorable experience.

Ciprian was a great photographer -- He worked with us on the price, gave us a free engagement session, and spent the entire wedding day with us. He takes amazing pictures, and made it feel very comfortable for everyone.
